The aim of the research is to study the effectiveness of migration policy in the context of sustainable development on the example of EU countries in order to formulate proposals for overcoming the problems of inequality and poverty as priority goals. The results of the research complement the theory of the new economics of labour migration, considering this concept as a way to maximize income and reduce the risk of revenue through education, higher wages and a way to get better health and education services, access to developed infrastructure. However, the heterogeneity of the effects of migration is also reflected in the inability to obtain health services and access to the education system due to the high cost. All this exacerbates the problems of inequality and poverty due to the imbalance of both income and the cost of social services in different EU countries. It has been determined that the policy of integration of immigrants does not ensure the achievement of the goal of inclusive and equitable socialeconomic welfare. Inequality, in particular, gender one remains the main problem of sustainable development through illegal employment and different levels of remuneration. It has been proved that training should be considered in the context of sustainable development as providing access to the education system and programs. Despite the growing participation in educational programs and training of immigrants, the problems of inequality and poverty remain a priority for ensuring sustainable development.

However, sago starch marketing is still facing problems that make the crop has not yet optimally support the economy of sago growing and processing households and communities. The study aimed to assess the market structure of sago starch in Konawe District of Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Data collection was done in two sago growing subdistricts. Respondents consisted of 55 sago producers, four subdistrict collectors, and two large traders. Data were collected using questionnaires, observation, and in-depth interviews, and were analyzed using Concentration Ratio and descriptive statistics. Study results showed that market participants consisted of producers, collectors, large traders, and retailer. The producer or seller concentration was low, and the atomistic selling condition prevailed in the sago extraction industry. The market share of the four largest collectors was 67.25%. Product differentiation was not present or low among the sago producers. Observed barriers to entry into the sago starch production included lack of technical skills, availability of water sources, knowledge of the area, and the nature of sago extraction operation. Barriers to entry into sago marketing were moderate and included capital requirement, economies of scale, knowledge of the area, and networking with both producers and large traders. The sago starch market has deviated from the norms of competitive market structure, namely, an oligopsonistic market structure. The structural features of the industry need to be improved by establishing standard and grades to facilitate marketing and to lead to product differentiation.

However, only a few studies consider both the driver's refusal right and the buffering strategy. This paper aims at improving the performance involving both of the above. We propose a driver-task matching algorithm that complies with the delivery time constraints using multiagent reinforcement learning. Numerical experiments on the model show that the proposed MARL method could be more effective than the FIFO and the RANK allocation methods.

The related existing literature scarcely studied the above relationship, focusing instead on consumer response to a verbal message about a single product alternative. The model developed in this paper is examined in multi-stage research, including the main survey on product evaluation and choice, and a preliminary study, using Exploratory Factor Analysis to identify the structure of direct product perception. The results suggest that, for the high self-relevance response (i.e., choosing alternatives for own usage), consumers who process more analytically respond more consistently with the evaluation of abstract attributes. On the other hand, for the low self-relevance response (i.e., mere evaluation of product alternatives), consumers who process more analytically respond more consistently with the evaluation of attributes perceived as important. This paper extends the current views on the relationship between self-relevance and the use of abstract attributes into the domain of the consumer direct response to a set of product alternatives. The findings may support managers in allocating their focus on product attributes between the abstract ones and those perceived as important.

This study aimed to analyze the socioeconomic factors that affected the role of women farmers in the production of lowland rice; also, to analyze the effect and the role of women farmers on lowland rice yields. Data collection included a questionnaire and involved 168 respondents, who were taken by the census. Data analysis used multiple and logit regression of Cobb-Douglas models. The results showed that education and farming income had a positive and significant effect on the role of women farmers in lowland rice production. The yield of lowland rice was affected by land area, urea fertilizer, SP-36 fertilizer, labor, and the role of women farmers.

The study aims to determine the highest average score and the impact of the three elements of Allen and Meyer's organizational commitment: Affective Commitment (AC), Normative Commitment (NC), and Continuance Commitment (CC). The author employed Sturgess's interpretation to determine the average score byVery Low, Low, Low Enough, High Enough, High, and VeryHigh.We got that the highest average score of the three components of organizational commitments is the affective commitment (0.704), followed by the normative commitment (0.681), and the last one is the continuance commitment (0.585). We draw the conclusion that a person, basically, wants to be useful to others. Then, she will be able to put aside individual interests for the sake of common interests so that she will dare to bind herself to agreements, rules, and norms for mutual survival (NC). 'As a result of wanting to be useful to others and having the courage to decide to stay together in the rules, she will dare to put aside his transactional self-interest which is centered on personal interests or gain (CC). The scoring average consecutively says that AC is the biggest among of all, NC is less than AC, and CC is the least, implies that a manager should be able to build and maintain the AC as the first priority, followed by the NC. If a manager has been able to build and maintain the AC and NC, she is able to build and maintain the CC automatically.

This study uses a quantitative approach by testing assumptions using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) assisted using the AMOS 4.0 application program. The results showed that the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the theory of marketing ethics (HV theory) could be used to predict the intention to commit digital piracy. Digital piracy intentions are not influenced by TPB's arbitrary rules, while digital piracy expectations and behaviour management significantly impact digital piracy intentions. Moral obligations and perceived benefits directly influence digital piracy. Moral obligation has clear negative effects, whereas perceived benefits positively impact piracy. Moral obligation hurts subjective value. Meanwhile, the perceived dangers often undermine individual attitudes towards digital piracy. The benefits people experience influence attitudes to digital piracy. This habit has had a dramatic and positive impact on digital piracy.

Data collection was done by survey method on 200 private university (PTS) lecturers under the Higher Education Service Institutions covering 14 regions in Indonesia. Helped by PLS (Partial Least Square), SEM (Structural Equation Model) was used to process the data collected. Accordingly, to check the validity, the measurement model was evaluated based on several reflective indicators (convergent and discriminant validity as well as composite reliability). Based on the result of discriminant and convergent validity, it is known that the whole constructs are valid as both the outer loading and AVE (Average Variance Extracted) value are > 0.70, moreover, a similar good result shown in composite reliability evaluation with the value of > 0.70. Finally, the results found showed that seven hypotheses, out of nine hypotheses, were proven to be true. On the other hand, for the other hypotheses, the findings showed that organizational justice and Internal marketing had no direct effect on organizational commitment. Next, it is also known that organizational justice and job satisfaction were proven to be the mediators of in the relation between internal marketing and organizational commitment.
